Julie M. Johnson Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture Faculty Affiliate, CEEDS Ph: 685-4006 Fax: 685-4486 jmjsama@u.washington.edu Statement of Interest As a landscape architect and urban designer, I am interested in how people create connections with their culture, time, and place, particularly in our increasingly mobile society and urbanizing environments. My research and teaching seek meaningful ways in which children can discover, interact with, and value their local ecological and social communities through participatory design processes. My involvement with CEEDS affords cross-disciplinary enrichment of these interests. Through action research and community-based teaching in local contexts, I envision a wealth of potential applications Sponsored Projects of Note 1999 Bainbridge Island Environmental Learning Center Principal Investigator, Children's Design-based Charrettes Funding: Brainerd Foundation 1997 Envisioning School Sites as Learning Environments Principal Investigator, Teacher Workshop at the UW Funding: Office of Superintentent of Public Instruction >
